well I see my original post never posted, My husband takes Adderral Which if i didn't give him everyday he"d abuse, I have to hide it from him, I've actually caught him trying to steal some from me, He's completely dysfuctional, cant hold a job, sleeps all day if i let him, I think he abuses benzos, he's wrecked his car and mine twice in the last 2 months, I had to cut him off from use of my debit card cause he was taking large amounts out of the atm w/out telling my, I suspect it cause of the adderall! Adderall is like legal meth, he cant even be normal without the aderral! we now have a baby and He cannot even watch her cause he wont wake up and here her, he cannot wake up in the morning like normal people do, and he wants to stay up all night??

He also loses everything, has horrible memory loss, one day he had dark circles around his eyes so big i thought someone punched him in bolth eyes.....He's became a big child, who I almost cant handle, All this stuff happened when he tried to get off adderal, so i let him go back on it, The thing i dont get is he doesnt have any sex drive at all!
He has Severe ADHD! is also taking Wellbutrin, which untill he took the wellbutrin he was sleeping day and night and not doing anything. I look at his pupils but they are normal! I wish I knew someone who knew, I love him and dont want to give up on him but I cannot raise a baby and him. the problem is when he comes home really messes up hes almost drunk like really not rousable, falling asleep talking, cant concentrate, i just dont know

He only got this way when he stopped taking adderal, he wrecked his car and mine, started coming home messed up, couldnt give him access to my atm anymore. Hes taken it for years but i know in college hed take it to stay up and study for tests. The moment he stopped the adderall I started finding benzos, or texts of him asking for them, but i suspect meth since he loves the euphoric feeling adderal gives you, Sorry if i'm miss spelling things. I think if i didnt give him one pill a day hed take the whole bottle! He stays up all night, can sleep all day, never eats or will eat and not eat for a day, picks at his face! picks bad at his face so bad I yell at him. He also hangs around with alot of people who I know are heavily into drugs. I'm in the medical field and work around alot of addicts and abusers, and I usually can tell how a abuser is, but with him i cannot see the typical symptoms of a narc, or benzo abuser, he is for sure taking something else, one time i had to take him to the hospital and all he tested positive for was amphetamines, but I just figured it was the adderal, I'm beginning to think its not, cause he never tests positive for anything else. When he comes home messed up he is in a drunk like state! falling asleep well doing things. the next day he doesnt remember anything. He wrecks cars, breaks things, loses everything. Has cost me so much money! I wont give him any money anymore cause if I do it disapears instantly and he makes up what he did with it.

well, one thing is for sure....Meth addicts LIKE to stay up all night...But then they also like to stay up ALL day as well...There are a few folks here who know a LOT about prescription drugs..I KNOW they will be along shortly....

It sounds like it is really difficult for you at this time...You are wise not to trust him with your child.

There certainly could be meth involved, but it might also be that he needs to be diagnosed again..Maybe the pills are messing him up..Is this a new thing, his need to be on adderral?

thanks! I started looking on this site to see how people are when the take it, how they feel, what happens, and alot of the posts describe him to a T! it scares me, I just wonder if he is doing it how hes taking it, where hes getting it and soo on!......I have a baby and I'm so stressed, he cannot even help me with her cause hes so dysfunctional its scary! He can stay up for days sometimes and I just dont get it, but then he has to sleep for days to make up for it, he'll get really irritable that he cant sleep. He already take narc as a script for chronic pain he has also, and I know he isnt abusing those.--Always has black circles under his eyes---pics bad at his face, acutally has a couple of bald spots in his hair that just appeared one day--is normal for a day and dysfuctional the next--has congestion issues bad! dr says it looks like he has sinus disease or will eventually--blows cash

He doesnt drink alcohol, when he gets really messed up it is as if he is drunk, I only suspect meth cause he told me his X was a addict, she got him started on adderal, he told me taking aderall right does nothing for him

Face picking (pickin' pox) is a classic indicator of meth abuse, staying up for multiple days is another, and the Jekyl & Hyde routine is tale-tale as well.Meth or not, he is waaaay off the hook and needs professional help IMO.

Recovery for someone this far gone is a long hard road to tow...do-able....DO being the operative word.Talk is cheap...seeing is believing, and if his lips are moving he's very likely lying.

If he refuses to seek help, you have one option if you're going stay sane, enjoy the quality of life that *YOU* work hard for. As for your baby, babies don't miss a beat and quickly become a product of their environment. aka "Imprinting"

How is his use not one of them, My husband cannot function without wellbutrin or adderral, sometimes he gets so messed up (off who knows what) and wrecks cars, loses things, spends all his money, he cannot hold a job, previously he got a BA, he is very smart, Cannot watch his child cause he cannot wake up to watch her, or hes up for days and is fine with her, I find random benzos lying around, he tries to eat his whole RX if adderal! He does not drink alcohol or smoke cigs, hes admitted to trying meth once, has admitted to abusing adderral, says he self medicated to feel normal, takes narc by RX, I know he doesnt abuse those. My detective Work has led to him admitting all his issues to me, I support him financially as well as everyother way, I have a baby i also take care of, Im seeking help to get him help! I've picked up on little things and ignored them till it started endangering my child...Everytime he gets tested he tests positive for amphetamines (Adderral) so he says! But he is so dysfunctional in so many ways I just dont know, hes sneaky, I already know he has a pill problem, hes admitted to that, but what makes a person stay up for days, then sleep for days, pick at their face, never eat, sweat profusely a very easily, constant sniffles, people who dont know him ask if he has a drug problem, and another problem, he has a nervous twitch, but he has his whole life (for sure)

I am ADHD and a recovering meth addict...my mom holds my meds, or 'I'd abuse them, I have a difficult time, as an addict on addictive meds.....running out of adderrall would/has triggered me to do meth....it stresses out everyone who holds my adderrall...but, I'm quite affective taken as prescribed.but, it improves the quality of my life...My family see's a positive change in me on adderrall.

....but, NOT with METH.........and not without meth....so I went to a shrink...and I'm ADHD

ADDERRALL IS NOT METH.

He's completely dysfuctional, cant hold a job, sleeps all day if i let him, I think he abuses benzos,

.........what are benzo's?

he's wrecked his car and mine twice in the last 2 months, I had to cut him off from use of my debit card cause he was taking large amounts out of the atm w/out telling my, I suspect it cause of the adderall!

..................adderrall is'nt meth, and you can't buy it everyday WITH a prescription, it's against the law....

Adderall is like legal meth, he cant even be normal without the aderral!
